Q: Why do images look smudgy?

A: Ensure that the camera lens protection windows are clean.

Q: Why do missing, discoloured, or bright dots appear

on the screen every time I switch on my device?

A: This is a characteristic of this type of display. Some displays

may contain pixels or dots that remain on or off. This is

normal, not a fault.

Q: Why can't my Nokia device establish a GPS

connection?

A: Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of

seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in

a vehicle may take longer. If you are indoors, go outdoors to

receive a better signal. If you are outdoors, move to a more

open space. Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS

antenna of your device. If the weather conditions are bad,

the signal strength may be affected. Some vehicles have

tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite

signals.

Q: Why can’t I find my friend’s device while using

Bluetooth connectivity?

A: Check that both devices are compatible, have activated

Bluetooth connectivity, and are not in hidden mode. Check

also that the distance between the two devices is not over 10

metres (33 feet) and that there are no walls or other

obstructions between the devices.

Q: Why can’t I end a Bluetooth connection?

A: If another device is connected to your device, you can close

the connection from the other device or deactivate Bluetooth

connectivity in your device. Select

Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point

even though I know I'm within its range?

A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set

identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a

hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID, and have created a

WLAN internet access point for the network on your Nokia

device.

Q: How do I turn the wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my Nokia

device?

are not connected or trying to connect to another access
